There are many engineering colleges in India but there are very few engineering colleges that qualifies as the top engineering colleges as there is a lot of confusion in students who are willing to do engineering from the top engineering because every other college claim that they are the best engineering college in India.
The National Institutional Ranking Framework’s which does the ranking of the top colleges in India is released every year by MHRD (Ministry of Human Resource Development).
The ranking of the top private colleges in India is based on five parameter here is the list of the following NIRF ranking parameters along with the ranking weightage.
S.no | Parameters used to rank Engineering Colleges in India | Ranking Weightage |
---|---|---|
1. | Perception (PR) | 0.10 |
2. | Outreach (OI) | 0.15 |
3. | Research, Professional Practice & Collaborative Performance (RP) | 0.20 |
4. | Graduation Outcomes (GO) | 0.25 |
